TO back up the previous post, here is how helmets work even when a cyclist is hit by a speeding car, as proven by the cyclist! So please unexplain the science and the lived experience of an expert youtu.be/SgH5ZwZ1OdI?si=3-2w…

Times change and maybe it is time to get back into social media. Maybe this tine I would be trolled so hard. Todays news about e-bikes etc is welcome. For those who disagree have a look at the video and explain to me why Hi-Viz/\Reflective clothing is bad youtu.be/P33IuCwFGb4?si=Tv4u…

We’re kicking off International Day of Persons with Disabilities with #PurpleLights25 at @gardainfo HQ. We’ll be lighting up Ireland for the day everywhere from Mansion House to @OireachtasNews to local authorities across the country. Show your support by posting purple.

💜You'll be seeing purple. Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. To mark the day landmarks across the country are lighting up in solidarity with the 1 in 5 people in Ireland living with a disability. Share your support using#PurpleLights25 #IDPwD25.
Five campaigners pose for a photo in a room illuminated by strong purple lighting. From left to right: a woman holds a glowing orb; a woman holds a neon heart outline; a man holds a glow stick; a man in a sweater stands in the center; and a man on the far right holds a sign reading "#PurpleLights25". A large cutout text sign reading "#PurpleLights" stretches across the front of the group.

The issue simply will not go away because LTNs are unfair and ineffective. Groups opposed have come together and have written to the transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, to demand that councils get communities’ approval before starting the schemes. thetimes.com/uk/transport/ar…

The fact is it does not evaporate… You can show it’s not there with data and statistics….. Trust your eyes …. 4 years almost and LTN advocates continue to support increased harm upon families and children living outside LTNs for personal comfort and pleasure… @FoxLaneLTN @PGCommunity

Thank you very much for this. We hadn't seen it before. The very roads where Lambeth's LTNs are directing traffic are already the most polluted by some margin.

I saw this map in the same source pack. In a world where people who have been appointed to make sensible and rational decisions, how on earth did they get away with the idea that diverting traffic onto the most polluted roads was remotely a good idea?

Growing increase of Limebike users riding on pavements - unaware, or without care to Highway Code, Bylaws, and Lime’s own user rules.
Clair@indieHackney12 Jan 2025
Replying to @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne
Having e-bike come towards me & up from behind on pavements is a common occurrence. More worrying when the pavement is narrow. On this day there were also 4 men on e-bikes minutes before. Note the clearly marked cycle lane a metre away. @OnLondon @thetimes #Pavements4people

You have to love it when some able planner, manager or Green Councilor, says "we understand it will be tough". Wrong it will be impossible for a large number of residents. The Older and Disabled Communities particularly. Eco Ableism 101 bbc.com/news/articles/c3e1jz…
